Fulmer does not have unilateral authority to block others from firing Pruitt.

But he is playing the political game well and has enough pull that it isn’t just him blocking.

If this was simple it would be done already. It’s very messy.

Yes, I know. I know several guys who share his opinion, and I know others who don't. And both sides are dug in.

I've been saying this for weeks.

No, because the lower seeds will still get pummeled. No one cares about the two teams that lose in the first round and we're already at only 4 teams. Getting blown out as the 5th-8th seed won't impress anyone either. Then it further waters down the postseason.

I disagree for the millionth time for the same logically sound reasons that have been posted about a billion times.

Plus..the old bowl system sucked, and was never anything but a crapton of crappy exhibition games that meant nothing in the grand scheme.

I would take that to mean Fulmer is an impediment, to extrapolate further I would think leadership above him might be hesitant to move at this time a well. No doubt Fulmer has their ears. Doesn't mean Fulmer has gone rogue and acting against the interests of those above him.

Let me be really precise and simple so perhaps you can understand.

UT has policies. The AD is not exempt from these policies and answers to those above him. He does not have the unilateral authority to block firing the HC. He has several bosses. Those bosses do not defer to him. They can, in fact, override him or act to remove him from his position.

So the AD is not mandating what his bosses-- or the University of Tennessee-- can or cannot do. The AD has opinions and expresses those opinions. He does not make decisions with these financial implications as a committee of one. He doesn't "block" anything the Chancellor or President want to do.

The AD doesn't have the authority to make deals at this level without his boss's signature. That is also policy.

I realize that someone like you would have no idea how UT is run. So maybe you should stick to things you actually know something about. I have no idea what that might be, but surely there's something.

I get where you're coming from here but could the AD not be a significant road block from the perspective of going to bat for his hire? I think it's been said that Boyd puts a lot of stock in what Fulmer has to say, and if that's the case and he's a big Pruitt supporter could he not potentially block something from happening by using his own influence? Purely a question here @LA Vol
